Growyn - eco-friendly search engine from Sweden

I just heard about Growyn and made some searches. Google generated links while Youtube and SlideShare did not find anything. In Twitter they have now 8 followers (including me) while in Facebook they have 2848 fans.

Growyn is a search engine just like Google, MSN and Yahoo! but with one big difference - we donate all our profit to support the environment. We believe that everyone wants to contribute to a sustainable future but for most of us, daily routines come in the way of a proactive commitment.

Growyn enables you to help save the environment by simply using our search engine!Every time you search the web through Growyn, money is generated to our projects.

Interesting project, good luck to you Kurdi&David. How about adding a Youtube video to spread the word also there? :)

Hidden treasures of social media

Johanna Janhonen started a blog called Hidden treasure in 2008 in Nokia´s intranet and opened this public blog as its follower in 2009 before jumping out of Nokia. In both blogs the topics are social media tools and culture. Early 2010 she started a Finnish blog about the same topics: Piilotettu aarre. Late 2010 she started a social media training&consulting company and named it after her blogs: Hidden treasure - Piilotettu aarre.
